So, this week pretty much sucked ass.
It began on Saturday night when our frat boy college neighbors decided to throw a huge party that went until 5 in the morning. I must be getting old, because I have no tolerance for this sort of thing anymore. Neither did anybody else in the building. We all complained and now the landlord is working with his lawyer to evict them. I almost felt bad about it, but then I remembered that a) this isn’t the first time they’ve been obnoxiously loud and b) I kind of hate them.
The week continued to go downhill when E-rock had his new ipod stolen on Monday, we were awoken in the middle of Tuesday night to water spraying our faces from a leaky window, I had bad cramps for most of the week, and E came home yesterday with a 102 degree fever.
Luckily we (or at least I) have a 3 day weekend coming up. It better be good.
On a happier note, I came across this article in Time magazine by way of The Morning News on how some scientists in the DRC observed two gorillas mating face-to-face, which is extremely rare. I don’t know why, but this picture of gorillas cuddling makes me happy.
It also reminds me of a trip to the Lincoln Park zoo last fall when we spent about 30 minutes talking to a gorilla expert (who happened to look sort of like a gorilla herself). Fun fact of the day – female gorillas in zoos are given human birth control pills to keep them from procreating.
Could it be because one of these gorillas looks a lot like Eric?
Also, who could ever in their right mind deny evolution? Gorillas look so much like people in gorilla suits. Remember the one at the Lincoln Park zoo who had a burlap sack to sit on and kept laying it out all precisely before sitting on it, the way you’d lay out a beach blanket to make sure there were no wrinkles? That was the highlight of the weekend. No offense, Lauren.
